Abstract

Abstract Purpose Papillary lesions (PL) account for 1–2 % of all breast neoplasms and fiberoptic ductoscopy is a practical and direct method compared with open biopsy in diagnosis and treatment of intraductal papillary lesions. This study aimed to assess efficacy of ductoscopy in the diagnosis and management of single intraductal papillary lesion. Methods A total of 232 patients at China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University who were diagnosed with single intraductal papillary lesion by fiberoptic ductoscopy were enrolled from March 2011 to November 2013. All patients underwent ductoscopic papillomectomy before open surgery. The final pathologic diagnoses were made by using specimen from both ductoscopic papillomectomy and surgeries. Any intraductal papillomatous lesion or surface abnormalities were considered as positive findings during ductoscopy. Results Histopathologic investigations of surgically excised or ductoscopically removed lesions revealed that 217 out of 232 cases were positive. In 187 cases pathological changes were only found in ductoscopic papillomectomy specimen, while the number of cases which was only found in open biopsy was 24. In 6 cases ductoscopic papillomectomy and surgeries specimen both showed positive. Conclusions The accuracy of ductoscopy biopsy in diagnosis was 88.9% (193/217) and specificity was 100%. In 187 out of 217 cases (86.2%) ductoscopic papillomectomy alone could completely remove the lesion. Ductoscopy is an effective tool for diagnosis and treatment of single intraductal papillary lesion. Citation Format: Zheli Xu, Wanying Xing, Qiang Li, Deli Xing, Yiqi Gu.
